It was just before 10 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing commenting on the football rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in West Learmouth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Land Rover Defender rental car. The poor lady was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Northumberland well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations quite swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to an automobile parking spot we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
